Please Note: this is 100% fiction.
Never in my life did I think I would have to enter the workforce again. We were doing okay with just hubby’s paycheck but as baby Jenny grew up and began demanding toys, the cost added up and, well, okay became not okay. I started job hunting just as COVID began and was lucky and got hired on as a remote employee.
As a result, I had to convert Jenny’s nursery-slash-playroom into an office. On a typical workday, I have next to no workspace and often found myself backing into Jenny’s toys. Ugh, ’tis the life of a working mom.

Kind of makes me wonder if Jenny’s toys need to be sorted out–whether she likes it or not!

Or perhaps Jenny should play somewhere else other than mom’s office.

100% fiction for you, but felt real enough and I’m sure it’s not fiction for everyone. Well done!

They used to talk a lot about the ‘work-life balance’. That has taken on a whole new meaning since Covid arrived. Good story.

Thank you. I think work and life kinda blended itself when it comes to working from home.

It might be fiction but it’s reality for my daughter. She hasn’t even got a desk – her laptop, printer and paperwork are on the table in the living room!

😢 That reminds me of the days when my mom and I lived in an apartment and she was a teacher. It was before the days school became electronic. Paper would be strewn everywhere from the dining table to the floor.

Isn’t it incredible when you think how many lives were impacted by Covid and in so many different ways? A lovely story, so very relatable. Well done, Yinglan!

With this economy, a lot of moms will be entering the workforce again to make ends meet. I am lucky enough to also work remotely which makes being a working mom a lot easier.
